Flapjack and Chowder

Anyone remember these shows? They used to be on Cn in the 00s but were cancelled and forgotten.

I didn't like Chowder but I thought Flapjack was okay. It was watchable, even though it could be too ugly to be consider ugly cute

Chowder is still on Boomerang and I've found that I like it much more now than I did when it first aired.

These were the last two shows I ever gave a damn about watching.

Chowder had the great John Di Maggio as Schnitzel and a creator who wrote some of the best episodes of Sponge Bob and Billy and Mandy. Flapjack had the great Brian Doyle Murray and some very inventive artwork.

I do think these were a transition period between the old CN and the new one, especially considering that the creators of CN's most popular shows these days - Pen Ward and JG Quintel - both cut their teeth working on Flapjack.

They were basically what kept the network afloat when they suddenly decided they didn't cartoons anymore, and any reruns of older shows and those Canadian imports all but vanished, around 2009 or so.

seriously..?

I guess it makes sense. The show was only on for like 3 years and was canceled :/

Edit: I really like his voice. Very masculine and pirate-like XD

I think I only saw either show once (or two half-episodes, maybe?). Some other message board was really hyping up Flapjack at one time, but it came off as just Spongebob and Mr. Krabs to me. I don't even know what Chowder's about. He was craving metaled eggs... some kind of aspiring cook?

Flapjack sorta reminded me of Beany and Cecil character wise and all the weird adventures they had:

Flapjack-Beany

Bubbie- Cecil

Knuckles- Uncle Captain

These cartoons should have been on longer, but I heard the VA for chowder was going thru puberty and that's the real reason they canceled it? The finale makes a lot more sense in that context

I didn't care for Flapjack, but I enjoyed Chowder when it was on. Schnitzel was the best character, and I loved this joke: "Pepper spray? That sounds delicious! Oh, I was wrong, so horribly wrong!"

Honestly Chowder's become one of my favorite shows. The jokes are much funnier and I'd be lying if I thought the food puns weren't hilarious.

Probably the best things during that shitty "CN Real" phase.Chowder was hillarious for just how bizarre it could get(who could forget the time where they spent so much money in-universe that they lost they animation budget,so the actors had to do a car wash for money) and Flapjack was a fun,quirky little show that was creepy yet funny.

I remember Chowder as being funnier than Flapjack, but then that's because I remember Flapjack less for being funny and more for being horrifically insane and awesomely nightmarish.

Both of them I loved a lot more later on than when I was first watching them (though I still remember the first episode of Chowder I ever saw, because it was the Queen Meach episode and the "don't let them rip your arms off, it only makes them angry" joke still makes me laugh to this day), though. I didn't watch Chowder too much when it was on but was really into catching parts of it on Youtube years later, and it's amazing that it's on Boomerang now.

Also, Chowder had some of the best meta-humor this side of Kim Possible, and broke the fourth wall in ways I didn't even think people were willing to do (the "no more budget for animation" gag. Holy crap).

I would have liked chowder better if it wasn't for that pink rabbit thing, Endive, and Truffles. So irritating and loud. Especially Truffles.

There wss an actual episode where Truffles was yelling for practically the entire episode....Good god!

You mean Panini?

Yes. She was super annoying.

I really liked Chowder. I felt it was one of the more creative and original cartoons since early Sponge Bob. A shame it didn't last longer, but at least it was on long enough to get an excellent Christmas special and a decent finale. I read that there were plans to make a TV movie special, but it fell through because of CN's budget cuts.

Flapjack was alright, but it was a bit too creepy for it's own good. I do like most of the characters and the setting of the show, but the plots would too often derail into nightmare fuel for no particular reason.

I find myself enjoying Chowder moreso then when it was originally aired as I am noticing that some of the jokes in that show were a lot more clever or amusing then I thought years ago. I also always loved the finale to that show, Chowder actually growing up as something I wanted to atleast see from the start of the show.

Flapjack to me I enjoyed a lot more though. I am admittedly someone who likes more macabre humor and artstyle's though so my view on that show might be biased.
